BXBX NOVEL Chapter 965 965: Jordan Has Returned
Clearing her throat, Irish continued, "The most crucial aspect is to announce some positive news that will bolster investor confidence. Key Group has been promoting their new product, and there are those who are hoping for our company to suffer further setbacks. We cannot show weakness during our new product launch. Despite the board\'s decision to postpone it, which had an adverse impact on our company, I propose that we proceed with the plan Joseph had previously put forward. The launch will proceed as planned, with all the new products being replaced by the products stored in Vera Club."
The media had extensively discussed the decision to postpone the new product launch. Joseph had carefully followed the media coverage and had shared with Irish that they were acting too hastily. He believed that a turning point could occur, as it was possible to transform something ugly into something beautiful.
While Irish didn\'t fully understand Joseph\'s cryptic remark at the time, she knew that he had been wronged. Now, however, a sudden realization dawned upon her. Joseph had mentioned the product stored in Vera club.
The products stored in Vera Club were known for their high quality, as only competitive products were selected to be stored there.
Upon hearing Irish\'s proposal, the shareholders shook their heads in disagreement, expressing their doubts. "We can\'t deceive our customers. Do you think the media and our customers are fools?" one shareholder retorted.
Irish took a deep breath and turned to Daisy, seeking confirmation. "Did Joseph ever mention the idea of repackaging the products from Vera club into new products?" she inquired.
After pondering for a moment, Daisy nodded and replied, "I do recall him mentioning that he wanted to select certain products from the auction and refurbish them. The packaging should highlight a classical concept."
Upon hearing Daisy\'s response, Irish\'s eyes gleamed with a newfound realization.
Irish\'s heart raced with excitement upon hearing Daisy\'s words. She couldn\'t help but admire Joseph\'s wisdom and foresight.
The concept of classic reappearance struck a chord with Irish. It was a brilliant idea.
Joseph had been right all along, and sometimes people needed to change their perspective and embrace new ideas.
"We can theme the new product launch as \'Classic Reappearance\' and select products that were previously showcased at auctions. These products hold great value and are highly sought after by collectors. We can attract customers to bid on these classic products by emphasizing their collectability. This approach could effectively resolve our challenges with the new product launch," Irish proposed.
It was only now that Irish fully comprehended why Joseph had sought the Lake family\'s assistance in lending their shares. He had devised a brilliant solution. However, the shareholders had initially doubted him, making it difficult for him to take action unless he gained their support.
Irish had a strong intuition that Joseph\'s idea could bring success, but unfortunately, he hadn\'t been given the opportunity to put it into practice.
However, the current circumstances presented a different scenario, and Irish believed that the shareholders would not act rashly.
As she had anticipated, after Irish finished presenting her suggestion, the shareholders began engaging in discussions among themselves. It appeared that they were genuinely considering Irish\'s proposal.
Seizing the opportunity, Irish continued to strike while the iron was hot, persistently persuading them, "Everyone, this is the only viable solution. Otherwise, I fear that our share prices will continue to plummet."
A shareholder raised a pertinent question, "But who will take the lead in implementing this plan?"
Irish turned to face Daisy, her eyes filled with determination.
Daisy quickly understood the situation and took a step forward, looking directly at the shareholders with determination. She stated, "I am well-acquainted with the plan, and I can collaborate with the chairman to make all the necessary preparations for the launch."
The shareholders nodded in agreement, acknowledging Daisy\'s proposal without saying a word.
Witnessing this positive response, both Roy and Irish felt a wave of relief wash over them.
After the meeting concluded, Roy instructed the driver to take Shirley back home, ensuring her safety and well-being. Cassie remained at home to provide comfort and support to Shirley. Despite being Irish\'s friend, Cassie managed to avoid becoming the target of Shirley\'s anger, for which Irish was grateful.
Meanwhile, Irish and Daisy remained in Roy\'s office, where Irish entrusted Daisy with coordinating efforts with Roy and providing detailed instructions on the matters that required attention moving forward.
Despite his initial reluctance, Roy understood the urgency of the situation and acknowledged his responsibility towards the Runestone Group. He attentively listened to Irish\'s instructions, secretly hoping that she would return to the company and take an active role.
Irish, although currently lacking in positional power, expressed her unwavering commitment to overseeing the condition of the Runestone Group. She assured Roy that she would not simply stand by and watch.
Irish urged Roy to trust Daisy, highlighting her competence and experience.
As the afternoon wore on, Irish emerged from Roy\'s office. Daisy, concerned about Irish\'s well-being, suggested that they grab something to eat.
Irish had been so preoccupied with worrying about Joseph that she had forgotten about her hunger.
"Has the lawyer gone to the police station?" Irish inquired, her body slumped against the couch in the anteroom.
Daisy handed a cup of water to Irish and sat beside her. "They\'re already at the police station. However, Mr. Dover is still being interrogated, so the lawyers are waiting for him. I\'ve also heard that the prosecutor\'s office is waiting for him outside," Daisy replied in a hushed voice.
"That might be too much for him. Do I have visitation rights? I need to go," Irish said, gripping the glass tightly.
"It\'s not allowed," Daisy softly replied.
Irish did her best to stay calm, but she couldn\'t help worrying about Joseph. Even a man with a strong mental and physical state would struggle with a day-long interrogation.
What should she do? Irish wondered.
"Daisy, I want to be alone for a while," Irish said.
Daisy let out a sigh and comforted her, "Don\'t worry. He\'ll be fine."
Irish hoped for that too.
The room fell silent as Daisy left.
Irish sat in Joseph\'s anteroom, where the scent of his wooden cologne filled the air. An unfinished cigar lay quietly on the tea table. Irish\'s nose twitched slightly, and tears suddenly welled up.
Helplessness, fear, and anxiety suddenly overwhelmed Irish, making her feel like a hundred hands were tearing her heart apart.
Irish cherished the days when Joseph would sit in front of her, smiling and assuring her that she shouldn\'t be afraid because he would take care of everything.
Joseph had always been Irish\'s support system, her backbone. She never imagined that one day that backbone would crumble.
Her phone suddenly rang, startling her. Without hesitation, Irish answered it.
"Irish, what\'s happening with my brother?" an anxious voice came from the other end of the line.
It was Jordan.
At this moment, Irish realized she wasn\'t fighting alone. After a few seconds, she managed to say in a choked voice, "He\'s still at the police station."
Jordan remained silent for a while before speaking again, "I\'m in New York now. I\'ve returned."
"What?"
